Slightly nervous now. Spent most of last evening looking at pictures of ER6s, which is probably the wrong preparation.

Test at 11.10 so heading out for about an hour's ride around before going to the training school.

Lots of clothes - it's blimmin freezing.

Good look matey!

Just remember, keep calm, remember your basics i.e livesavers, mirrors, STOPPING at STOP signs (dont ask how I know...) and you will ace it! Thumbs Up

Also an extra tip, never be afraid to try and make progress if its safe (dual carriage ways etc), especially if you think you might have ballsed up earlier. More often than not an instructor will overlook previous mistakes if he can see your confident to progress, getting up to speed quickly (but again safely).

Yip - de - doo - da - feckin - day.

Passed with no minors.

Flipping brilliant feeling.

L plates are tossed casually in a corner of the garage.

Will now "waste" the entire afternoon looking at shiny machines.

Oooooh.

I usually try to stay clear of the real world......

Problem 1. What bike?
Problem 2. How to convince the missus that a 125 is no longer ok, even though I said it would be.

Brilliant stuff AJ, get you with no minors Thumbs Up

You must've had the examiner my old fella had then, he was sound, they both were. Although they did tell us we were nuts for doing it on our 125's. We might as well have turned up with big mid lifer stickers on our lids Very Happy
That tesco roundabout is a nightmare, loads mess up on that one.

Buy your Mrs a helmet she'll love it Very Happy
